That would be great!  We already noticed Dovecot saves time by  
reading "S=" filename extensions written by Exim, but they're  
currently removed when IMAP messages are moved (or new mail is  
uploaded).

If Dovecot could add "S=" to uploaded and moved messages, it would  
save even more stat() time, and Exim could figure all the messages  
into its quota checks.
